Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, has announced that Annals of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (AOEM) has moved to BioMed Central's open access publishing platform. AOEM is the official academic journal of The Korean Society of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (KSOEM).
KSOEM was formed in 1988, when the people of Korea began to have concerns regarding health and safety at work. Since then, the organisation has collaborated with workers and management to cope with occupational health and safety problems. AOEM is the successor of the Korean Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, which began its first publication in 1989. In its 25th year the journal will be published entirely in English and fully open access, with the aim of gaining a more international scope.
AOEM considers original contributions relevant to occupational and environmental medicine and related fields in the form of original articles, review articles, short letters and case reports.
Authors based in the Republic of Korea can apply for a discounted article processing charge (APC) by mentioning the discount code KORAU at the payment page during submission.
